Staley unsure if Gamecocks will go to White House

Dawn Staley and her champion South Carolina Gamecocks are still waiting for their invite to the White House. "We haven't gotten an invitation yet, and that in itself speaks volumes," the women's basketball coach told The Associated Press in a phone interview Friday night. "We won before those other teams won their championships. I don't know what else has to happen."

That was before "some things," as Staley put it Friday night, "transpired over the last few months. I haven't talked to anyone about it. I got bigger fish to fry than worry about an invitation." Every previous NCAA women's basketball champion since 1983 has been invited to the White House, spanning five different presidents. Trips to the White House by sports teams this year are no longer a given.

Since Dawn said she isn't even sure her team, would go now if invited. I think WH is not going to invite them.

Just wondering how long this thread will stay up considering that it's "political".
